Hopefully this will tide you over...

I was going to blog first thing this morning but was disciplined and therefore started working on the Master Knitter program finishing (or so I thought!)  I spent ALL day labelling my swatches and (of course reknitting some of them.  These are the poor lonely souls that don't get to go on the big adventure!

 

These are a few with the tags all attached in the appropriate corner! (The labels have my info on one side and detailed references for the techniques used on the other)

I also got my template set up for answering the questions and got a bit of a start on actually answering some of them...it's not the answering that is difficult ..it's the referencing how you came to the answers!!!  I have always hated footnotes and this is one giant footnote!  Then ... as I am reading through the questions, I notice one little reference to a report!!!  I know I saw this before but had conveniently forgotten!  I have to write 2 pages (no more than 14 pt) on fiber care - arghhhhhh  Guess I am not completing the package today (but I did get all 16 swatches completely done :))

Made some progress on take 2 of Spellbound.  I am knitting up a different colorway in the yarn quality (100% Superwash Merino - YUMMY!!!) that will be included in the kits for stitches.  Bella is getting in on the action! (notice the yarn that somehow got into her mouth!)

I initially had some doubts about the bright blue color being in the mix but I like it now :)

This yarn is incredibly soft!!!  I LOVE working with it!  Thanks KnitWitch :)

The total yardage for the shawl is 1116 BUT and this is a big one - P.L.E.A.S.E. (please please) make sure you have plenty of extra if using a substitute - yarn has a funny (or not so) way of behaving sometimes.   Also, FYI everyone, I will be republishing this pattern in about a week with a few little tweaks to improve it along with lots of yardage info about the Celestial Bounce yarn I am using now.

Last but not least - here's another sweater I have been working on - hope to do a class in March  (this is the back blocking - I took the picture a while ago - the whole things almost done :)

OK - this is really last - here's The Every Way Wrap...

Ok - now you have something to read (and look at until I blog again! :)
